About this wine
Giovanni Sordo crafts authentic Barbera d'Alba DOC wines in Piedmont's prestigious Alba region, a territory celebrated for producing some of Italy's finest red wines. The estate focuses on traditional winemaking practices that allow the Barbera grape to express its true character, full-bodied complexity with elegant structure and refined tannins.
Barbera, the signature grape of this appellation, thrives in Alba's distinctive terroir, yielding wines with vibrant red fruit aromatics, peppery spice, and subtle notes of clove and anise. Giovanni Sordo's philosophy emphasizes quality over quantity, crafting wines that balance power with approachability. The resulting expression is a sophisticated red wine with soft tannins and considerable depth, making it versatile for both leisurely enjoyment and food pairing.
This full-bodied red pairs beautifully with rich pasta dishes, aged cheeses, grilled meats, and game. Its balanced structure and moderate 14% ABV make it an excellent choice for wine collectors and discerning palates seeking authentic Italian character without excessive weight.
